Assertion : Components of a homogeneous mixture cannot be separated by using physical methods
Reason : Composition of homogeneous mixture is uniform throughtout as the components react to form a single compound.

Options

A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of assertion.
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
D. If both assertion and reason are false.

Explanation

In homogeneous mixture, the components completely mix with each other and hence the composition is uniform throughout. Formation of homogeneous mixture is a physical chage as no chemical reaction occurs between the components and no new compound in formed, hence the components can be separated physical methods.
